Rosanna Davison is proud mum-of-three but her journey to motherhood was not an easy one.
The model welcomed her daughter Sophia in 2019 via surrogate, before delivering twin boys a year later, in 2020. But this was after years of trying, with Rosanna being open about her struggles with infertility in the past.
But now she is discussing the last impacts of infertility, confessing it left her with severe anxiety.
Writing on Instagram: “Babies are exhausting and all-consuming (especially multiples!) but the time goes by quickly (in a blur!). I have found that infertility is far more emotionally and physically exhausting and all-consuming.”
Sharing her feeling from her emotional journey to motherhood, Rosanna continued: “It was an inescapable, constant anxiety. The fear of the unknown.”
“Despite the number of people it affects, infertility is still a silent struggle for so many, being a very personal and sensitive subject to discuss. It’s a complex kind of trauma and one I’m still trying to process despite having my babies.”
Offering advice to anyone experiencing something similar, the Dubliner shared: “The best advice I can share if you’re struggling just based on what I found helpful, is to talk about it as much as you can with trusted friends or family (or a therapist, if feasible), stay present and take it day by day, acknowledge your very valid feelings, and find a healthy outlet for your emotions.”
Rosanna shared the message alongside a sweet snap of Sophia, when she was just a newborn.
Reminiscing about the photo she wrote: “A memory from this day 2020… all dressed up for our first dinner date with Sophia, who was 9 weeks old 🥹 (in my experience, newborns make very obliging dinner companions. Nice milk feed at the start and they sleep for the rest of it. Toddlers? Not so much)”
“Like most newbie parents, I was sleep-deprived, exhausted and overwhelmed, being a new mum and learning on the job. (I still feel overwhelmed a lot now tbh!). But we finally had our much-wanted baby and could barely believe our luck.”
